    Ok, i have come to the conclusion that i am not very good at amending my lists to suit me!!

    I read the list and think "yeah, i could do with doing that" and completely forget about all the other things that i really need to do first!!

    so far this morning Ive done HHI (BF's golf stuff - he was up at 6 and away at 7 :rolleyes: ) have S&S kitchen and Bathroom, ive done two loads of washing, one is hanging up to dry, I have dismantled my bed as the Ebay lady is coming to pick it up today - so have completely hoovered the whole room and washed down all the skirting boards etc. Ive remade the bed (mattress on floor and will have a look for a new bed frame online later).

    Am going to declutter the little make up chest of drawers that i have......they are going to become makeshift bedside tables :D

    Anyway am going to get on and finish what i can today....... whether its on the list or not......I know what im trying to achieve(ish!) :rotfl:

    Will update lists properly later and give you a full update on what ive done!!!

    Wish me luck xx

    Likklegibbon I hope you get it all sorted or the builder does at least for you, water is a pain as it never comes in from where you expect.

    Any way all lists done except the weekend one:j :j :j :j :j took some effort but 2 of us have done it, OH as a 'reward' has gone out on his bike, I am going to clean my car.

    Last load is in WM, so will hang that out in a bit.

    Why is it the cats have been out all morning, but wait till I put a clean litter tray down and then poo in it?? but at least it is the right place! :rolleyes:

    AFlo is being a right pain, I hate being my age, when car is clean off out to look for 'some suitable' to wear to my father's 75th next weeked, it seems I am not allowed to wear jeans as 'accoridng to SMother I am too old' grrrr.

    Morning all

    One load of washing out in the sun.

    Generally tidied up etc but can't do much because DH and DS are making a stand for the trainset base so there are tools everywhere, including the garden.

    Never mind!

    Todays list is simple
    write 3000 words on "management" and how it differs from "leadership"

    oh joy!
    Management is telling people to do stuff, leadership is showing people how to do stuff, inspiring them by setting the example and doing stuff alongside them

    Hi I'm up and going to get ready. DH is out already but I couldn't get up earlier so he's coming back for me soon. I'm going to do some flying this afternoon and have a nap when the rugby is on.
    Hugs to all, enjoy the sunshine xx

    ETA: Hugs LG, hope they fix it. Casleigh, what's happened with your leak? Is it all sorted now? Hope so, hugs to you

    I have a little list left:

    Richie Sambora on a solo tour
    Bob Seger
    BB King
    Aerosmith
    The Eagles(they are playing up here too but i'm on holiday, booooo)


    Aerosmith were on my list but I saw them at Hyde Park in 2007 :D Have seen Bon Jovi four times. There are lots of bands I'd like to see again, but I'm struggling to think of any still on my 'list'! The benefit of 12 Reading Festivals and living near to London!!

    Right, now need to update my list and then catch up with the thread. ......
